The wind is just a big convection current created by the sun. The sun heats up the atmosphere, and the hot air rises up (because hot air is lighter than colder/normal air) and colder air rushes in to replace it therefore, generating wind.
I hope I have helped:).

What is the source of energy that causes wind to blow?
The energy to create wind comes from solar energy.
How is solar power and wind power different?
solar power uses the sun's light for energy and wind power uses the wind to turn the turbines in windmills to create energy.
Do wind turbines depend on energy from the sun?
They get their energy from the wind not the sun.
Some of the sun's is converted into wind and water waves-?
Some of the sun's energy is converted into wind and water waves. Most of the sun's energy are absorbed by the primary producers.
Where does wind energy originate from?
Ultimately, the energy in wind comes from the radiation we get from the Sun.
What is the source of energy that causes wind to blow?
The energy to create wind comes from solar energy.
Does wind create energy?
No. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed. The energy of the wind ultimately comes from the sun.
How is solar power and wind power different?
solar power uses the sun's light for energy and wind power uses the wind to turn the turbines in windmills to create energy.
Do wind turbines depend on energy from the sun?
They get their energy from the wind not the sun.
What do we call the tool to create wind energy?
The tool that is used to create wind energy is called a wind turbine.
What is the difference between solar power and wind power?
solar power gets energy from the sun using solar panelsbut wind power uses a wind turbine which catches the wind and spins to create energy/electricity
Some of the sun's is converted into wind and water waves-?
Some of the sun's energy is converted into wind and water waves. Most of the sun's energy are absorbed by the primary producers.
What are 5 differences between solar and wind energy?
solar energy is energy from the sun and wind energy is energy from the wind
Where does wind energy originate from?
Ultimately, the energy in wind comes from the radiation we get from the Sun.
Why is wind energy called solar energy?
Wind energy is not called solar energy. Solar energy is the energy from the sun, while wind energy is just wind energy.
What is the process that energy from the sun is converted to energy?
photosynthesis in plants converted to electricity in photovoltaic cells. radiant when the sun's heat is used to heat something that is then used to create electricity, like solar colllectors. Arguably its the sun's heating that creates wind which is then harvested by wind turbines.
How does energy cause wind to blow?
the energy of the sun and the divergent parts of the wind cause each and every part of why the sun causes energy which will lead to the wind blowing
